And I don't like the taste of beer at all... only one I've been able to
even get more than a sniff past my nose (even had a few ounces in
September), has been Smithwicks... which isn't exactly a beer anyway...
I finally figured out that it's the hops I detest....  :)

 MK> Maybe one of these years I'll try a Canadian single
 MK> malt whisky just to say I did. 

And when/if you do, you'll have to report on it here...  ;)

 MK> Speaking of which, one of the island
 MK> breweries is threatening to start producing a whisky in the near

 MK> anything that could possibly compete with the Glenlivet/Macallan

 MK> distillery in Nova Scotia.  Either "Glen Breton Rare 21 Year Old Glen
 MK> Breton Rare 21 Year Old" or "Glen Breton 15 Year Old - Battle of the
 MK> Glen" looks tempting but I've never seen or even heard about them in
 MK> this neck of the woods. 

Are they substantially less expensive than the Scotches....?

 NB>> So, our discussion shouldn't be tipping them off to your stores... ;)

 MK> I think what tips them off is when they see me going to the store. 

Ah...

 MK> However the 15yo Glenlivet I bought in Nanaimo so only the person I

What did he think of the Gold...?   He'll probably drop in after the 1st
for a wee nip of the 15yo, if he remembers you bought it...  :)

ttyl         neb

.... Why do they ask 'paper or plastic'?  Because baggers can't be choosers
